bathing beauty.

This past weekend, I went swimming in a gorgeous mountain lake. The mountains were tall and deep green, the water was clear dark blue and there was not one cloud in the sunny sky. I, however, did not get much of a chance to look around as I was busy trying to keep my swim bottoms covering my (very) white booty. Here's the thing: On an impulse purchase from the Banana Republic sale rack, I now have a very cute suit that is a size or two too big. I mistakenly thought I could "make it work." (Never watch Project Runway prior to shopping. That phrase should be banned from retail environments.) As my bare ass could tell you, I was failing to keep it classy. Thus begins the search for a new swimsuit, preferably one that, you know, stays on.

My favorite is the La Blanca suit even though it's white and spendy. Have you looked at Macy's? I got a purple roxy swimsuit for super cheap there (I found out it was cheaper when I got to the register!). I am pasty pale and not much looks good on me so I understand your fear of white and pale colored things. I like the purple on me though so I'd give that an option if you're interested. Good luck! I know how painful this is!

I love the first one, but I have to say no to very light (or white) colored suits. I am quite pale too and once fell in love with a very pale pink suit and even in that I looked naked from afar, bad news. I say go for the blue suit (don't worry about the top staying up, unless you are super duper busty you shouldn't have a problem, there is usually boning on the sides that keeps it where it needs to be), or the green one if you will be swimming before the blue suit is available. Good luck!
